OT , Catch as catch can wrestling : Sun Apr 23, 2017 8:01 pm  

On tonight's antique roadshow a gentleman with a ' World champion belt ' for the above named sport , he had a picture from 1926 of his father refereeing a wrestling bout in Leigh Lancashire

The picture appeared to show embankments full of spectators with a cotton mill behind it , now too early for Hilton Park , but could it have been the earlier ground up Bedford ?
